Minimum Male roles = 3. Minimum Female roles = 3. Minimum total with doubling = 10. Minimum total without doubling = 12. No chorus. As presented on the web site, the script requires a minimum cast of 15, but the Producer's Copy provides a number of variations to the text which can reduce the cast size to 10 (with doubling).It's panto so gender is flexible.

Run Time

Around 30 minutes. [Estimated!] (Variations cutting characters and dances would bring the time down to around 20 minutes.)

Music

The script has several places for songs and dances at the producer's discretion. The score for one song is provided (it's not essential, but it happens to fit.)

Style

One-act rhyming pantomime version of Puss in Boots, designed for minimal sets but requiring a few portable items.

In a mirror image of the traditional Cinderella set-up, Cintronella is a sour lazy young lady with two attractive sisters, and Prince Charming is plotting a trick with a glass slipper to avoid finding a girl to marry... It's up to the fariy godmother and the narrator to get the story back on the rails.

Red Riding Hood, her mother, and her brother Robin (who you may know from other pantomimes) live in a cottage in the woods. One winter's day Red's mother asks her to take a Christmas hamper to her Grandma, but a Wolf is on the prowl, and there's no woodcutter in sight...

Minimum Male roles = 0. Minimum Female roles = 1. Minimum total with doubling = 6. Minimum total without doubling = 6. No chorus. Whilst Cinderella and the fairy are nominally female, this is a pantomime, and it doesn't really matter who plays which gender.

Run Time

Around 6 minutes. [Estimated!]

Music

The producer's copy of the script suggests the use of one (optional) song. Lazy Bee Scripts does not supply any sheet music with this script.

Style

A short rhyming pantomime with no set requirements.

Synopsis

There's Cinderella, Jack (of beanstalk fame), a dame, a comedy character, an evil henchman and a fairy. All the ingredients of a pantomime, but which one?

Minimum Male roles = 2. Minimum Female roles = 3. Minimum total with doubling = 6. Minimum total without doubling = 7. No chorus. One character is optional and silent.

Run Time

Around 8 minutes. [Estimated!]

Music

None.

Style

Short verse play (probably, but not necessarily for kids).

Synopsis

A couple offend a witch and hand over their daughter, Rapunzel, to her by way of recompense. Rapunzel is locked-up in a tower, accessible only by a window - with the aid of her hair as a climbing rope. She stays there until she is visited by a handsome prince and the audience is visited by an unexpected plot twist!

Minimum Male roles = 2. Minimum Female roles = 3. Minimum total with doubling = 11. Minimum total without doubling = 12. No chorus. This is an English pantomime, so Widow Twankey could well be played as a pantomime dame and Aladdin as a principal boy (so male playing female and female playing male)

Aladdin, a washerwoman's son falls for a beautiful princess. In his urgent need for wealth, he is tricked into accompanying the wicked Abanaza on an expedition to retrieve a magic lamp. Abanaza traps Aladdin in a cave, but with a lot of magical help Aladdin escapes and (after a few twists and turns) love triumphs.

One set of song lyrics included, to the tune of 'Wild Rover'. Lazy Bee Scripts does not supply any sheet music with this script.

Style

A simple, humorous rendition of the tale of Beauty and the Beast in one-act and in rhyme.

Synopsis

A merchant goes to trade his wares and bring back gifts for his three daughters. Two of them, greedy and vain, desire jewellery, the other, fair and good-natured, wishes for a rose. But the merchant plucks a rose from the garden of the Beast, and he must pledge the Beast his daughter's hand in marriage to save his own life.
